Qin Nuo got out of bed barefoot, carefully tiptoeing to the door to ensure there was no noise outside. He gently turned the doorknob.

The lights in the hall were already off, with only a sliver of moonlight streaming in from the balcony, pushing back some of the darkness.

Qin Nuo entered the living room, already having thought of an excuse if caught: he was thirsty and came out to get a glass of water, not wanting to disturb his family, hence the bare feet.
